Phillips (3-0) picked up the win Saturday in an 8-0 victory over the Guardians, allowing only four hits and a walk over nine shutout innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Making just his third career big-league start, the right-hander produced the first shutout by a Phillies rookie since Zach Eflin in 2016. Phillips tossed 105 pitches (71 strikes) in the impressive performance, and his scoreless streak stands at 15 innings after he blanked the Bucs in his previous outing. The Phillies could be looking for rotation help at the trade deadline with Ranger Suarez (back) joining Taijuan Walker (finger) on the IL, but Phillips is proving he can fill one of those spots quite capably. The 26-year-old will take a 1.80 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 25 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.

Phillips (2-0) picked up the win Sunday against Pittsburgh, allowing four hits and a walk with three strikeouts during six scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was outstanding in his second career start, keeping the Pirates without an extra-base hit and generating his first quality start. The 26-year-old has been a worthy stand-in fifth starter for the Phillies and boasts a 2.81 ERA and a 15:1 K:BB across 16.0 innings in three big-league appearances. With Taijuan Walker (finger) not expected back until August, Phillips is lined up for another start, which should come during a three-game series against the Guardians next weekend.

Phillips is scheduled to make his next start either Saturday or Sunday in Pittsburgh, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips will get a second turn through the rotation after he held his own in his first MLB start Saturday, when he earned a win over the Athletics while striking out five and allowing four runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. Whether Phillips pitches Saturday or Sunday will depend on how extensively left-hander Cristopher Sanchez is used in Tuesday's All-Star Game, but the Phillies are already committed to having the 26-year-old right-hander pitch next weekend against the Pirates. Unless he implodes against the Pirates, Phillips should get at least one more start after that, as the Phillies don't seem to be counting on Taijuan Walker (finger) returning from the injured list until August.

Phillips (1-0) earned the win against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips allowed two runs over his first six innings but stumbled in the seventh, yielding two more runs without recording an out. He threw an impressive 51 strikes on 79 pitches with 11 whiffs and pitched well enough to secure the first win of his career. It remains to be seen what the rookie's role will be after the All-Star break, but he has a good shot to stay in the mix until either Taijuan Walker (finger) or Spencer Turnbull (lat) return from the injured list.

Phillips will make his first major-league start Saturday against the Athletics, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips pitched well in an extended relief outing Sunday in Atlanta, allowing one run, striking out seven and not issuing a walk over four innings. He had come on in relief following an ineffective start by Michael Mercado, and now he will be replacing Mercado in the Phillies' rotation, at least for one turn.

The Phillies selected Phillips' contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old will get his first taste of MLB action, joining the 40-man and 26-man roster after spending early portions of the 2024 season at Triple-A. He made 15 starts for Lehigh Valley, owning a 4.89 ERA with 78 strikeouts across 92.0 innings. However, he's expected to operate out of the bullpen with the Phillies. Yunior Marte was optioned to Triple-A and Luis Ortiz (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL in corresponding moves.

Phillips was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was plucked off waivers from the Rangers in July but has yet to pitch above Double-A with the Phillies' organization. He owns a 6.13 ERA in 39.2 innings split across three levels of the minors this season, so he may not be a very appealing option on waivers.

Phillips was claimed off waivers by the Phillies on Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday. He's yet to make his big-league debut and owns a 6.75 ERA in 25.1 innings across the two highest levels of the minors this season, so it's unlikely the Phillies see him as someone who can help patch the team's leaky bullpen immediately.

The Rangers designated Phillips for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The righty has been with Triple-A Round Rock since June 19 but now loses his 40-man roster spot, which Sam Huff filled in a corresponding move. Phillips has struggled in his three Triple-A starts, posting a 12.86 ERA in just seven innings while walking more batters (nine) than he's struck out (eight).

Phillips was promoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips recently returned to the mound after a right elbow injury kept him sidelined for just over two weeks. He allowed six runs on five hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout in 1.1 innings across his last two appearances, but he'll now be in line to make his Triple-A debut in the near future.
